BioShock 2 delayed 'til "fiscal 2010"

While the game was previously slated to hit European store shelves on October 30, 2009, just squeezing into the company's fiscal 2009, the company has now moved the title to a more vague "fiscal year 2010." The sequel was expected to arrive on these shores November 3rd, a few days after its ship date in Europe.

Now, BioShock 2 could be pushed well into calendar 2010, missing the holidays completely.

Officially, Take-Two blames the delay on the need to "provide additional development time for the title."

Strauss Zelnick, Chairman of Take-Two called the delay "the right decision for the product," but calls the impact on its revised financial outlook a "disappointment."

"The decision to shift a release date is never an easy one, especially with a product as highly anticipated as BioShock 2," Take-Two CEO Ben Feder said in a financial release. "We felt that it was essential to invest the additional time to ensure that this title will deliver what its fans expect and deserve."

this just in: CliffyB replaces ThomasJordan as the lead of the bioshock2 project. Expect more chainsaws, gruffy, male voiceovers and some serious ass-kicking rpg shit built into your favorite FPS. Like weapons and ammo upgrades or abilities like rocketjump and instagib.

Probably delayed so cliffyb/dude huge can add his version of rpg elements into the game. Maybe he'll do something usefull like get rid of the 'bring you back to life chambers', never used them in the first game, if I died I just reloaded a save, you could tell when an in game attack event was going to happen so I always saved just before they hit.
